If there's something I love to do, it's looking up at the sky.. Whether it's day or night, sunny or cloudy, raining or snowing.. it's something that's always fascinated me.

It's one of those things where science can give me as many explanations as it wants, and I'll still be in awe.

Now I'm not one of those people who denies that there is a scientific and very valid explanation, I'm just saying that I don't always "get" it. You know what I mean?

At some point in school, we were taught how the moon is not made of cheese, clouds are not cotton candy and stars don't turn off during the daytime. But I like to think that we are allowed to keep a little bit of mystery, cause honestly, life can get boring without it.

In real life, I'm one of those people who likes answers to everything, and as I've mentioned before, the words "Just because" are ones I truly despise, but I think the sky is one thing I can live without knowing everything about.

So we'll conclude that we don't need to know about that, but you should definitely know about the brand new Forecast Flipflops by .:Buttery Toast:.

While being exclusive at the new round of Cosmopolitan Sales Room, these brilliant flipflops for the Slink flat feet, can be yours for only 99L.

When the round is done, they'll still be available at the mainstore, but the price will be raised. So hurry down to CSR before the 2^nd of august to get them at the introductory price.

There is a lot of awesome features when it comes to this item.

Firstly, every version includes a male version! So yes, if you're a guy, you can get these as well.

Secondly, they come in a sun, rain, snow, clouds and rain version, includes a hud with 7 base colours and a whole bunch of textures for the strap.

So if you're unhappy with the weather outside, ain't this just the perfect way to make your own choice? ;)

Let's Go To The Beach

It's very rare that you'll find me on a beach in real life. Maybe it's because I don't swim very well. Maybe it's because I think jellyfish are absolutely terrifying, or maybe it's because I've just never been able to find the pleasure that I know a lot of people experience by going to the beach in these summer months.

I apologize if that makes me sound dreadfully boring, but alas, there is little to be done about the matter. The ocean will still exist and so will the jellyfish.. And then there's tanning. There's a hobby I've never seemed to fully understand.

Okay, I'll admit that my Scandinavian skin tends to look like a boiled lobster's shell before anything else. You'd think I'd learned by now wouldn't you?

But I do love swimsuits, and beaches are usually where you'll find them. Unless you're in Second Life. Then there's a chance you'll see them in the oddest of places.

And because I love sharing fun little stories, I'll share this with you. The original picture I was gonna share in this post was a lot different from what I'm actually showing you now. I had originally gone for the pink version of this Mag<3.b two piece and combined it with an ice cream prop from one of {Imeka}'s gatcha machines. I'd posed on a beach, took the picture and started writing. Due to some RL obligations as well as SL obligations it's taken me a little longer to write than I had imagined and I spent some of my free moments browsing Flickr.

There, I saw a picture... The pink two piece, the {Imeka} ice cream and I'll admit, the picture was a thousand times better than mine.

So I decided to go in a different direction and chose to wear the Rouge version of this cute little bikini. It comes in 5 different colours for 100L each and 150 if you decide to purchase the double pack which includes the past Hello Sailor swimsuit.

All you have to do is put it on, and you're ready for a day at the beach.. Or forest. Wherever you decide to show it off ;)

Give Me Love Like Her

Second Life is big big place.. Always new places to see, always new items to purchase, always new people to meet. I don't meet as many people as I used to, to be honest.

These days, I'm either taking pictures, writing, hanging out with my fiancé and/or friends or shopping. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before in a former blog post, and yet I've done very little to change it up.

But then again, sometimes I can't but wonder... why change it up? The people I have around me make every day in Second Life an absolute joy.

Faylinn is one of those people.

It's fun to think sometimes, that had I not applied to blog for .:Buttery Toast:. would I then even have got to know such a wonderful human being?

Chances are that I would not... But thankfully, things worked out the way they have, and she's a freaking pleasure to be in proximity of. ♥

She's also one of my favourite go-to people when it comes to excessive shopping.. especially when it comes to events. This time, we both went mental at the new round of Kustom9 and ended up drooling over the shirt and skirts by [MotiAme]. They come in a bunch of colours that you can mix and match as you please.

Another new favourite of mine from this round, is the glasses from .tgs. where the hud will allow you to change the lenses.. As much as I love the various options, I did end up going for clear though as I felt it was the most appropriate for this look.

If you'd like to know what Fay is wearing in this picture, then head over to her blog Enter My Wardrobe and snatch up her little shopping secrets. XD

Also check out those pictures of hers.. absolutely effin' stunning.. *only dies of jealousy a little bit*
